You probably won't be able to charge it ever again. Water ruins electronics it causes shorts and other damage.


Take it to an Apple store for diagnostics and possible repair or replacement, its probably no longer functional and will no doubt die eventually.


There is no amount of time to wait for it to be functional. Its been water damaged and that generally cannot be repaired.
